Bob and Angel,

I started using doctype because I was told that browser updates might not 
use display features above the declared doctype. So I set the bar high and 
started using a syntax checker. I used "transitional" hoping that would 
give me a pass on useful deprecated syntax. For example, turning auto 
complete off in a text field is not a "legal" attribute, but it darn well 
should be!

Now I'm thinking set the bar low and deal with any display shortcomings on 
a case by case basis.

For what it's worth, my version of Jmol.js shows only 7 Messages (Blue) in 
my syntax checker. They are all double variable declarations in functions 
which should not be fatal. The fatal problem re the high bar is buried in 
my code. Who knows. Maybe my use of autocomplete off attribute finally blew 
up. It could also be that MSIE 9 finally objected to the applet tag I use 
for JME in the page. Setting the bar lower looks like a good plan for now.

Angel, I just thought of something. That yellow applet message could have 
come from JME. It's sitting right there. It's just hidden!

Your page looks fixed. I had copied the older version. Someone tell me why 
it's important to include this doctype crap on a web page.
